Very nice coins.... I do not have any from the 1700's... I wish I had picked some up when I attended coin shows... always thought "Well, maybe next time.".... While getting coins for my CC series or something else. Oh well...add it to my list.... Cheers, RickO
@yosclimber Several of the coins in your list are patterns and not regular issue business strike coins.

By some definitions, yes.
But all the coins I listed are in the main listing in PCGS CoinFacts and the PCGS Price Guide,
and not in their (CoinFacts) Patterns section, where they have things like the Amazonians and Schoolgirls. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts https://www.pcgs.com/prices
Collecting first year 1794 half dollars is interesting because there are 11 die pairings for a complete set. Most are rare to extremely rare, with two unique. I am using Tompkins numbers rather than Overton, from the excellent book Early United States Half Dollars 1794-1807. Tompkins numbers are by emission order, in the sequence the coins were struck. The following Tomkins numbers, rarity, and images are from my collection, in order of striking:
T-3, R-5 (31 to 80 known, rare) sunken reverse die
T-4, R-6- (25 to 30 known, very rare)
T-7, R-3 (201-500 known, scarce)
T-10, R-6 (14-30 known, very rare)
T-11, R-5 (31-80 known, rare) ex Eric Newman

My collection is a bit short on the dream coins:
They are cool coins, though, and the dreams are still good.
